An adaptive project is in the planning stage. The project manager is preparing a communications management plan to share critical, project-related information and updates.
Which approach should the project manager take?
A.
Implement pull communication to share project-related information and updates.
B.
Install push communication to share project-related information and updates.
C.
Employ verbal techniques to share project-related information and updates.
D.
Apply information radiators to share project-related information and updates.
Information radiators are a key communication tool in Agile and adaptive environments. They are visual displays of project information (e.g., task boards, burn-down charts) that are constantly updated and visible to all stakeholders. They promote transparency, immediate access to project status, and facilitate self-organizing teams.
The Agile Practice Guide specifically recommends the use of information radiators as a best practice to facilitate rapid and visible communication.
Option A (pull communication) requires users to seek out information but doesn’t promote transparency.
Option B (push communication) is useful but not as effective in agile environments for real-time visibility.
Option C is incomplete—verbal techniques are informal and limited in accessibility.
